corpse flower blooming at the u.s. botanic garden!

So fun! This is the first garden to have three blooming at the same time. They grew the one on the left from seed in 2002 -- all of these are blooming for the first time. Felt like we were in "Little Shop of Horrors!"

wow! Stinky too, huh?

@margonaut Yes stinky, but it only smells bad the night it blooms, which was the night before. They have the scent in a jar so you can experience the smell -- it's awful!
